Not only fast, but plays fast. This isn't a track guy playing football. He is a dynamic runner with the ball in his hands -- two 1,000-yard receiving seasons and four career kick returns for touchdowns.

2. Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee, 6-2, 216

Let the buyer beware. He played only one year of major-college football and NFL scouts have questions about his maturity.

3. DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson, 6-1, 214

Had three 100-yard receiving games in bowl games. An elite route runner.

4. Robert Woods, Southern California, 6-0½, 201

Knows how to set up a defender to give himself room to make a play on the ball and has 4.42 speed in the 40. Had 111 catches for 1,292 yards in 2011, and 26 touchdowns the past two seasons.

5. Quinton Patton, Louisiana Tech, 6-0, 204

A junior college product who played only two years for Louisiana Tech. Tracks the ball well and has good body control.

Physically, Patterson is everything the NFL wants in a wide receiver. But league personnel people wonder how well he will adjust to life off the field with a first-round contract in his hands.

UNDER THE RADAR

North Carolina's Jheranie Boyd ran 4.45 and 4.46 in the 40 at his pro-day workout and had a 41½-inch vertical leap. Played in only six games last season because of a leg injury, but averaged a touchdown catch every 3.7 receptions.
